I am suffering from whitecoat hypertension, I am taking bp tablet. My first reading always high. Because I am very anxious, nervous and excitement. After first reading I fell free. It shows very normal all remain readings are very normal. Which reading should be considered. Very first reading or next readings pls suggest me. My diastolic always 80 or below, but systolic some times goes 150. Second reading always below 120/80.

lybrate-user the gold standard is 24 hour ambulatory BP meaurement Alternatively measure BP at home 10-14 times in a week and the average will be your true BP.

White coat hypertension is not a disease. Measure you BP once every 3 months, and if 22nd reading is normal, no medicine, and no BP check for minimum 3 months. Best wishes.
